wished for a lower angle Bhai, still loved the angel pose and nice light Bhai...

[Daniel Cadieux]

Hi Harshad, I too wish for a lower angle and also a better wing position (especially the near wing). Good composition, and the yellow eye looks good. I like the visible feet :-)

Harshad, Really nice pose and I like seeing the feet too! Great eye contact and agree w/ comments already given.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the landing pose, sharpness and eye contact. I wish we could see more of the underwing of the near wing and would tone down the whites.

[Wil Hershberger]

I agree that this is a nice pose and I too like the feet. A lower angle would have been nice.

Great shot, Harshad. I really love shovelers and this is a nice image of one. Good exposure and I love the bill and eye. Nice.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the eye contact in this action image. Well done!

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Harshad, this guy looks like a conductor of an orchestra with its wings up!

Love the expression on its face and exposition.

[James Salywoda]

I like the wing position you captured with this Shoveler Harshad very nicely done....

Somehow this image does not live upto your high standards . Would have liked a lower angle and toned down levels here .The water droplets on the bird look oversharpened on my monitor .
